Kick down rod adjustment

Post by Rich100 »

I have a 1982 302 with the AOD transmission and a Holley 4 barrel. How do you adjust the kick down rod? How much movement is required on the transmission lever to be effective? Does the kick down rod travel an equal distance with the accelerator pedal? With a kick down rod, how is the 30-35 pound adjustment made? My kick down lever is missing can someone include a picture of there set-up so that I can see the length of the lever or better yet, give me dimensions? Thank you very much.

Don't drive till you fix it you can burn up an aod. I have an article on my computer at home how to adjust it I will find it tonight and post it unless someone else does before I do.
